| In today’s highly competitive
market, the pressure on organizations to find a better way to create and
deliver value to customers is mounting. The decision involves many
quantitative and qualitative factors that may be conflicting
in nature. Here, we present a new model for transportation problem with
consideration of quantitative and qualitative data. In the model, we quantify
the qualitative data by using the weight assessment technique in the fuzzy
analytic hierarchy process. Then, a preemptive fuzzy goal programming model is
formulated to solve the proposed model. The software package LINGO is used for
solving the fuzzy goal programming model. Finally, a numerical example is given
to illustrate that the proposed model may lead to a more appropriate solution. |
